Re: BOARD FUEL INJECTORS
Dont't do it. E85 is awesome for a high power build if the whole system is prepared for it. Stick with as little Ethanol as possible. in Austria most fuel is E10 (10% ethanol mixed among the fuel) by now, but car enthusiasts will try to stick with E5 whenever possible as it has less corrosion and ...

Re: Volvo/cars humor
I couldn't take a decent photo of the interior of the VESC due to reflection. The monitor for the camera was tiny, but the whole dash was built around it. Not so much because of the screen size, but because of the depth.

Yes, I had the same problem, but unfortunately I never found a decent solution.

Re: 850 t5 96' Can Too Much Wastegate Travel Cause Low Boost?
Is the 16T new as well or just the actuator? I once git a replacement 15G with too short of a lever that wouldn't go into full boost.
But the actuator needs to be quite exactly the correct length, I feel.

Re: The 20 year refresh on a P3 LR2
So about 50 degree is good for a modern AC? I remember that a 78 Ford I was in you could barely hold your hand in front of the AC vent because the exit temperature was around 35 F.

Re: Can these cars vapor lock? 1998 V70 T5
Did you read my post? I mentioned recently changing pump and relay, plus lots of pressure at the rail. I realize it was long, but the information was in there, multiple times.

Re: Need a rack and pinion 96 855t
I have that second theory stored somewhere in my mind as well... TRW and SMI, I thinkscot850 wrote: 23 May 2026, 08:29 I think the 850's all used the same rack. Can't recall if it is the SMI one. I seem to recall Robert DIY doing a video on this. It was around 97 that there was the 2nd option is my memory is correct.

Re: P80 green board…no wait…water in the engine room , Sir!
I,ve never had a functioning tailgate washer. does the waterhose to the rear run in the car or under the car. I don't think there is a separate reservoir, right?
